[Gllug] Online banking

[Jake Jellinek]

We use Barclays ibank (business thing, dunno if the personal accounts
are the same) with Galeon without any trouble. I have a personal NatWest
account also and am frustrated by not being able to use Galeon. I've
heard that the new Konqueror as part of KDE3 was specifically designed
to try and support as many banks as possible with it's Javascript
support and apparently may well work with Natwest (pretending to be IE I
guess) but I haven't tested this yet, not having installed KDE3 anywhere
yet...

Cheers,

Jake.
